Many people expect their beloved Nano’s to die sometime around the two-year mark, they however expect them to die a slow long death, not spontaneously combust as an Atlanta man’s Nano did.
Danny Williams, who works at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was on duty when his suddenly his iPod burst into flames while still in his pants pocket.
The fire raged for about 15 seconds before going out. Williams was a little distraught but escaped with only mild burns due to the glossy paper he also had in his pocket.
“I’m still kind of freaked out that only after a year and a half my iPod caught fire in my pocket. If TSA had come by and seen me smoking, they could have honestly thought I was a terrorist,” said Danny Williams.
Apple has promised to replace the Nano and has asked for the burned out iPod so they can conduct an investigation into the matter.
